Frist of all I am a newbie to zf. I have been out of the programming scene for a while.
I came across zf and decided to take a look at it.After reading the manual and some other sites I started playing around with it.
I guess first things first my directory structure
Code:
/application
/config --holds zf config file
/controllers
/models
/Smarty -- Smarty specific folders
/cache
/config
/templates
/templates_c
/views
/index
/user
/library
/Smarty -- holds all smarty files
/Zend -- holds all zf files
.htaccess
index.php -- bootstrapper file
I am using the zend veiw smarty layout that is in the manual.
Zend Framework: Documentation
made a few adjustments to the Smarty.php script
PHP Code:
<?php
require_once 'Zend/View/Interface.php';
require_once 'Smarty/Smarty.class.php';
class Zend_View_Smarty implements Zend_View_Interface
{
/**
* Smarty object
* @var Smarty
*/
protected $_smarty;
/**
* Constructor
*
* @param string $tmplPath
* @param array $extraParams
* @return void
*/
public function __construct($tmplPath = null, $extraParams = array())
{
$this->_smarty = new Smarty;
if (null !== $tmplPath)
{
$this->setScriptPath($tmplPath);
}
foreach ($extraParams as $key => $value)
{
$this->_smarty->$key = $value;
}
}
/**
* Return the template engine object
*
* @return Smarty
*/
public function getEngine()
{
return $this->_smarty;
}
/**
* Set the path to the templates
*
* @param string $path The directory to set as the path.
* @return void
*/
public function setScriptPath($path)
{
if (is_readable($path))
{
//$this->_smarty->template_dir = $path;
//Changed this so the path is to the directoy where the folders are
$this->_smarty->template_dir = $path.'/templates';
// Add the following so we can have all paths available to Smarty
$this->_smarty->compile_dir = $path.'/templates_c';
$this->_smarty->cache_dir = $path.'/cache';
$this->_smarty->config_dir = $path.'/config';
return;
}
throw new Exception('Invalid path provided');
}
/**
* Retrieve the current template directory
*
* @return string
*/
public function getScriptPaths()
{
return $this->_smarty->template_dir;
}
/**
* Alias for setScriptPath
* @param string $path
* @param string $prefix Unused
* @return void
*/
public function setBasePath($path, $prefix = 'Zend_View')
{
return $this->setScriptPath($path);
}
/**
* Alias for setScriptPath
*
* @param string $path
* @param string $prefix Unused
* @return void
*/
public function addBasePath($path, $prefix = 'Zend_View')
{
return $this->setScriptPath($path);
}
/**
* Assign a variable to the template
* @param string $key The variable name.
* @param mixed $val The variable value.
* @return void
*/
public function __set($key, $val)
{
$this->_smarty->assign($key, $val);
}
/**
* Retrieve an assigned variable
*
* @param string $key The variable name.
* @return mixed The variable value.
*/
public function __get($key)
{
return $this->_smarty->get_template_vars($key);
}
/**
* Allows testing with empty() and isset() to work
*
* @param string $key
* * @return boolean
* */
public function __isset($key)
{
return (null !== $this->_smarty->get_template_vars($key));
}
/**
* Allows unset() on object properties to work
*
* @param string $key
* @return void
* */
public function __unset($key)
{
$this->_smarty->clear_assign($key);
}
/**
* Assign variables to the template
* Allows setting a specific key to the specified value, OR passing an array
* of key => value pairs to set en masse.
*
* @see __set()
* @param string|array $spec The assignment strategy to use (key or array of key
* => value pairs)
* @param mixed $value (Optional) If assigning a named variable, use this
* as the value.
* @return void
*/
public function assign($spec, $value = null)
{
if (is_array($spec))
{
$this->_smarty->assign($spec);
return;
}
$this->_smarty->assign($spec, $value);
}
/**
* Clear all assigned variables
* Clears all variables assigned to Zend_View either via {@link assign()} or
* property overloading ({@link __get()}/{@link __set()}).
*
* @return void
*/
public function clearVars()
{
$this->_smarty->clear_all_assign();
}
/**
* Processes a template and returns the output.
* @param string $name The template to process.
* @return string The output.
*/
public function render($name)
{
return $this->_smarty->fetch($name);
}
}
My Bootstrapper looks like so:
PHP Code:
<?PHP
/*
*Error Reporting
*/
error_reporting(E_ALL|E_STRICT);
ini_set('display_errors', 'On');
set_include_path(dirname(__FILE__) . '/library' . PATH_SEPARATOR . get_include_path());
/*
* Zend Loader
* Loads all the Zend classes the script uses
*/
require'Zend/loader.php';
/*
* Required Classes
* Class we need are accesssed through namespaces instead of direct files
* example Zend_Controller_Front will load /Zend/Controller/Front.php
*/
Zend_Loader::loadclass('Zend_Controller_Front');
Zend_Loader::loadclass('Zend_Config_Ini');
Zend_Loader::loadclass('Zend_Registry');
Zend_Loader::loadclass('Zend_Db');
Zend_Loader::loadclass('Zend_View_Smarty');
/*
* Load the config file
*/
$config = new Zend_Config_Ini('application/config/Config.ini', 'general');
/*
* Connect to database
*/
$db = Zend_Db::factory($config->db);
/*
* Setup the controller
*/
$front = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance();
$front->setControllerDirectory('application/controllers');
$front->throwExceptions(true);
/*
* Run the page and display it GO!!!
*/
$front->dispatch();
I saved the Smarty.php to Zend/View so I can load it using the Zend_Loader
My IndexController.php looks like
PHP Code:
<?PHP
class IndexController extends Zend_Controller_Action {
function indexAction()
{
//Logic Code goes here
$view = new Zend_View_Smarty();
$view->setScriptPath('application/Smarty');
$view->books = 'Zend PHP 5 Certification Study Guide';
$view->author = 'Davey Shafik and Ben Ramsey';
$rendered = $view->render('bookinfo.tpl');
}
}
What happens is everything works now to an extent but the .tpl files arenot outputing. I know I am overlooking something simple if someone could help me I would appreciate it.
If you need any more info just drop me a line.
